You should send a hup-signal to the syslogd: ps xauw | grep syslogd, check the pid and do "kill -HUP pid" or kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid` or killall -HUP syslogd > Is there a standard way to stop/start/restart daemons in FreeBSD? > (I'm used to the RedHat way of having scripts for this in a central > directory) Yes, a little bit more Do It Yourself than RedHat: find the process and send the signals to it. -HUP is a common practise, so is storing the pid in /var/run/... is and looking for the process id and send the hup afterwards is working everywhere.
